Wieden+Kennedy Portland has unveiled its campaign for the 2015 International ANDY Awards’ call for entries, and released the list of jurors (one Aussie; no Kiwis). The deadline for entries is Friday 9 January.
The ANDYs, which have been run by the Advertising Club of New York for 50 years, recognise global creativity and craftsmanship.
“As an industry, we can’t solve clients’ business problems or impact change by playing it safe; there are certainly no advertising awards for the mediocre,” says ANDYs president/ceo Gina Grillo. “So this year, the ANDYs campaign is using real-life examples of brave jobs (neurosurgeon, firefighter, astronaut) to remind the industry that we’re in the business of marketing, not saving lives.
“The campaign aims to make bravery less daunting to the creative community and inspire agencies to submit their brave work.”
W+K created three films, a series of display and social media ads, and an interactive quiz on the newly redesigned website www.andyawards.com, and juxtapose these tough jobs against advertising legends Gerry Graf, Dan Wieden, Susan Hoffman and Jeff Benjamin.
In addition, the 2015 ANDYs will feature a new e-commerce awards category to recognise innovative advertising that drives online or mobile transactions by helping customers find, discover and buy.
“The 50th anniversary was a milestone for us and bravery in creativity is something we as an organization believe in,” Grillo said. “We wanted to recognise the brave work done for the past 50 years and encourage the creative community to be brave going forward.
“Colleen and the talented team at W+K captured the spirit of bravery by using humorous situations for creatives to be inspired. Caring about the work and approaching it with passion and bravery is what we want to see more of, and with that comes fame, glory and quite possibly an ANDY for your award shelf.”
